Poll: How Many Macs, iPods Have You Purchased?
Last week someone asked me how many Macs I’ve had? It took a few minutes to add them up. I counted those I’ve bought for me, for my kids. All total about 20. How about you? How many Macs? How many iPods? Take the poll and check the numbers.
Of course, those of us who are more, uh, um, “mature” may have purchased more Macs than most. Years adds a lot to a life—and to the Mac collection.
There was the first 128k Mac with a printer. $2,495. And a cute little “bomb” that showed up on screen whenever the Mac crashed.

I have a beautiful G5 iMac that is showing its age! How can this be- it’s PPC and I’ve avoided Leopard and some other software. I’m a musician, just got Logic Pro- I’m staring at the box wondering if it’s for the iMac or my next computer- a MacBook matte screen Pro. Of course, the next ones are coming… do I wait? For the upgrade’s version 1.. or later. In the fall- winter. I need a new laptop and I need to keep in touch- I work as a Mac Tech Consultant. I’m still at PPC and Tiger. If I had the money- why, I’d simply buy everything I need!

My first was an LC, later upgraded to a 3.
Bought one of the first G3 desktops (only Mac I’ve had that committed harakiri).
Had a G3 laptop (Wall St.?)
A friend gave me his old G3 desktop that I’ve hung onto.
Now have a PowerBook G4.
One iPod Nano, the tall skinny one.
